Under Jiang Taotao's firm stance, Ning Yiyi agreed, albeit reluctantly. Together, they formed a team of five and proceeded to register for the competition. With the 100th Professional Competition slated to take place in Nanhong City within the Shenxia Empire, anticipation was high. Jiang Taotao, full of confidence, declared, "If they didn't team up with me, it's their loss. They didn't stand a chance to win the championship anyway."
As they navigated through the crowd, they encountered Bailisheng, a familiar face from the dungeon hall and the grandson of the dean of Baili College. With a cold demeanor, he questioned Ning Yiyi, "Why are you with him?" His gaze lingered on Ning Yiyi, jealousy evident in his eyes.
Ning Yiyi, visibly annoyed, retorted, "What's it to you?" Bailisheng, fueled by anger and entitlement, asserted, "You're supposed to be my fiancée. Everyone knows that."
Ning Yiyi couldn't contain her fury as she lashed out, "Shut up! You're delusional. Just because you declared it doesn't make it true. I've already rejected your proposal."
Red in the face, Bailisheng turned to Lin. "I'll kill you" Bailisheng said through clenched teeth.
"Vroom!" A bright semi-translucent flame appeared on Lin's palm. His eyes icey cold as he contemplated the idea of ending Bailisheng's life. An eye for an eye. If someone was going to threaten to kill him, Lin wouldn't mind taking a more proactive approach and striking first to gain the upper hand.
The confrontation escalated quickly. But before any physical altercation could ensue, Bai Yiyuan's commanding presence intervened. "Who are you planning to kill?" he inquired, his voice booming through the air.
Bailisheng was struck down by Bai Yiyuan's overwhelming power, signaling a clear warning. Bai Yiyuan then turned to Lin, questioning his willingness to confront the danger head-on. Lin responded with determination, ready to face any consequences for his actions.
This incident not only solidified Lin's resolve but also demonstrated Bai Yiyuan's protective stance towards him. With a new mission assigned by Bai Yiyuan, Lin and Ning Yiyi prepared for their next challenge: venturing into the Yuan battlefield to confront abyssal demons and uncover the secrets of the Elemental Secret Realm.
Their journey promised not only dangers and discoveries but also an opportunity to prove their strength and earn their place among the ranks of the Shenxia Empire's elite warriors.
